Did we all watch the CSI marathon?
I've only recently discovered CSI...I try so hard not to watch too much tv, but I did catch an episode this season and fell madly for the lead - Gil Grissom...so as luck would have it, Spike TV ran a CSI marathon all day yesterday...till 2:00am...episodes from season 1 or 2, I dunno, but I enjoyed them ALL..! and as luck would have it, they are continuing the marathon today...I know what I'll be watching/listening to while making beads this afternoon!!!
The show was fun, I did pretty well $wise, actually better than I realized...I tallied the cash yesterday and was surprised...It was a fun show, but I'm glad its the only one I'm doing this year - it was a LONG weekend...Yesterday felt like Saturday to me, since I worked all weekend...So today feels like Monday, just like it does to ya'll too...I'm busily getting stuff done this morning, taking the cat to the vet for her followup shots, running to an appt...we had a cold front come though and its fabulous outside right now...so I might even trim some of our overgrown hedges in our front yard...wow!
I'm nearly done with the English Tweed - I thought I'd finish the Kensington stuff yesterday, but I had a headache all day...today I'm good to go, though, so those will be completed...
And I'm on top of things this week - I have the actual set of Freebie beads already posted...they are kinda cool - each bead has some goldstone in it to make it sparkle...
I'm heading out, but I'll be back soon...email/comment if ya need me...

I'm glad the show went well. My purchases from you will remain in my home---not at my mother-in-laws. Wink! OK you slacker--turn off the TV and get back to bead making now!

I love CSI - I even bought seasons 1 & 2 on DVD. Haven't gotten 3 yet, but am thinking about it. Love the stuff you got at the show - esp. the Texas quarter bracelet! I'll have to check bead-patterns and beadcoop to see if there's a pattern (I know, I know, it's probably easy, I just work better from a pattern!)

What is Schwag? Is that a local term?

"Schwag" is a new term (fairly new to me) that usually means 'free goodies'...but i've been using it to mean 'new stuff I just aquired' either by free or by paying...this stuff I bought at the Show on Saturday from a local seedbeader, Valerie Felps...If you go to conventions and get koozies, hats, keychains, badgeholders, etc, that's called 'schwag'...funny name...

LOL! I had to kick my son off the TV last night because of the CSI marathon. We love that show, but have to get up at 6:30am. I think I need a TV in my garage so I can watch and torch at the same time!
